Stable cottage is a newly converted stone barn. It is light and airy with private parking and garden. It has two ensuite bedrooms, the beds can be made up as twins or doubles. The large kitchen/dining/living area has glass doors opening out into the garden.

Really lovely clean cottage with a high spec feel to the finish. Furnished with everything you could need and well located for day trips. Local town a short drive away for supplies / take aways etc. Sally was on hand with anything we needed without being intrusive. Would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Sally 's gorgeous cottage. We only stayed for a couple of nights but would have loved a longer stay. Sally has provided everything you could possibly need and it's in a great location with lots of things to do in the area (we went to Fleet Air Arm Museum). If we are ever in the area again we would definitely stay here.

Beautiful room in a quiet location with everything a traveler could possibly need.

Yvonne2017-03-28T00:00:00Z

Julie was a wonderful host, managing to accommodate an early check-in for us which was extremely helpful. The Studio was a lot more spacious than we imagined and was completely spotless. There were a great array of breakfast items for us to help our selves to and the kitchenette was well equipped. I would definitely recommend the location. It was lovely and peaceful but with plenty of areas of interest a short drive away such as Wells, Glastonbury Torr, Stourhead and Street.

Hayley2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

This is a large room that functions as bedroom, living room and kitchen with a small en-suite bathroom. The place is very quiet and peaceful and provided everything I required including a generous breakfast of cereal, toast, coffee etc.

Adrian2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Julie and her husband are very friendly hosts with a lovely home. The studio room is very spacious and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

Andrea2017-05-18T00:00:00Z

We visited as we were attending a wedding in nearby North Cadbury. This is a wonderful, cosy apartment with everything you could need as a couple – and much bigger than it looks in the photographs! The filled breakfast basket and mini fridge filled with eggs, yoghurt and fresh juices is a lovely touch. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Danielle2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Julie and Dan were wonderful hosts with flexible check in, a very warm welcome and lots of local info provided. The apartment is an immaculate, spacious studio with lots of natural light, space to eat and prepare breakfast, and cosy sleeping arrangements. A lovely breakfast was provided and the wifi was good. The flat is a short walk from a quality gastro pub, and there are loads of country walks in the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend!

Bob2016-09-09T00:00:00Z

Very friendly host with very friendly pets!

Daniel2016-07-10T00:00:00Z

Jackie responded promptly to all our communication and was waiting in the driveway to help locate the house. She was very welcoming particularly in the morning after we had the benefit of a good nights sleep and we enjoyed the lovely breakfast she cooked for us. The house and neighborhood were quiet, the dogs friendly and well mannered. All in all a perfect break in our journey.

karen2016-06-13T00:00:00Z

Another lovely stay with a fantastic host

Bob2016-09-16T00:00:00Z

Jackie was a warm and welcoming hostess! The bedroom was comfy clean and perfectly equipped and the breakfast she served us was totally delicious. All round great air bnb :)

Izabella2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Jackie did everything she could to make my stay as comfortable as she possibly could and was very proactive in solving a potentially very difficult situation. What's more, we enjoyed a drink together in a local pub before retiring for the night, so I'd say she went above and beyond the call of duty!!! She mentioned several local places which could be of interest for me to visit the following day (Stourhead house and gardens are nearby - although be warned, the entrance fee is a prohibitive £17,50 + £3.00 for parking) and all suggestions were excellent. Jackie's love for hospitality shines through as does her passion for her work (she is an artist). I would not hesitate to recommend Jackie's home for a great stay in Wincanton.

Snag Farm is a newly refurbished family country farm house situated in a rural location near Wincanton, only a couple of hours from London, yet in the middle of country side and surrounded by fields.
The house is particularly spacious enjoying versatile accommodation with 3 bedrooms and an amazing huge kitchen and living area. The farm is reached down a long track and provides the perfect escape from busy life, amongst fields and woodland.Dog friendly

The house is perfect for families and for those wishing to explore the beautiful Somerset countryside.
KITCHEN
The kitchen is a very special sociable space, welcoming, extremely spacious and well equipped with a lovely warming double Aga...perfect for holiday cooking and cosy kitchen meals in cooler months. Please note the Aga will not be on during spring and summer time.It is open plan with a large table , kitchen island and sofa. There is also an induction hob and a double gas ring, as well as 2 more separate electric ovens. Leading on from the kitchen are large double folding glass doors on to a conservatory which also has space for dining and is perfect for an extra children's play area.

We are only 10 minutes away from Castle Carry and Bruton which is well known for the new Hauser & Wirth art gallery and fine restaurants such as' Roth Bar&Grill' and also the fabulous restaurant 'At the Chapel’. Matt's Kitchen in Bruton is also a favourite and booking is strongly advised for all restaurants.
When one thinks of Wincanton their first thoughts are likely to be of the world-famous Wincanton Racecourse which hosts seventeen jump races between October and May each year.
Snag Farm also represents an interesting historical site - on 25th June 1944 USA Army AirForce B17 Flying Fortress crashed at Snag Farm after being damaged by enemy action on a bombing mission to Tolouise, France.
The World famous landscape, Palladian house and walks of the National Trusts Stourhead are a short drive away via Pen Selwood, which also hosts outstanding countryside and magnificent woodland walks. The drive to the beautiful city of Bath is just under 1 hour.

We had a fantastic stay at Snag Farm, with our family and their dogs. Georgie was very friendly and welcoming. The house is just stunning, so much space and beatific meadow views all round. Our dogs loved the cool stone floors and adventures around the farm. Another highlight was making out own pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven!

Karun & Lizzi2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

We had a really lovely stay in the beautiful house. Lots of space downstairs. Beautiful scenery. Wonderful deer in the field behind which can be seen from the kitchen windows.

Gilly2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

Although we didn't meet Georgiana, she responded to all our questions pretty much immediately and her friend Douglas was on site to help. The downstairs space is incredible, very open and comfortable, perfect for a big family, the small children had a ball running around. The kitchen is exceptional, a super social space and a joy to cook in. The downstairs shower room doesn't have a basin area and is quite basic but the main bathroom upstairs is very large and beautifully designed - perhaps not suitable for all guests as its accessible only through the main bedroom. The building work was really barely noticeable, not at all a nuisance, overall the farm was very quiet and we had a lovely peaceful family break. A wonderful, social property for spending quality time away with friends and family; we had a really great stay and would definitely recommend it.

Shelley2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

We stayed 3 nights whilst visiting family. Location was great, very quiet and lovely views. The house is clean, spacious and has everything you need. Georgie is a perfect host and very attentive to make our stay a good one. We would definitely return!

Roz2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

This was a fantastic living space, with a huge kitchen/dining area and a really spacious lounge. The three bedrooms upstairs were exactly what we needed and having two showers and toilets made things easier! Georgiana is a great host and I'd fully recommend heading down to snag farm

Ryan2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

The host canceled this reservation 73 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Rebecca2016-06-22T00:00:00Z

Very nice modern country house and a very welcoming host. Would certainly recommend if you are thinking of staying in this part of the country. Excellent facilities for a family holiday and very dog friendly, although if you aren't a dog person you wouldn't know it as it was so clean on arrival.

David2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

A very quiet house with plenty of greenery around. The house itself has a large kitchen dining which is amazing as the whole family can fit with plenty of space. The pool table, piano and fuse all table are an added bonus! perfect for all the family.

Stoke Trister is a small village and very friendly. A church but no pub!
The File in the cottage has lots of information on the cottage, where to visit and where to eat. A choice of Village pubs within 10 minutes drive and many more. Super Markets and Farm shops within 10min drive. Lots to see and do for all ages: Bath, Shaftesbury, Longleat, Sherborne Abbey and Castle, Wells, Salisbury, Wilton House Salisbury, Stourhead, many other National Trust and Historic Houses & Gardens, Iron Age Hill Forts and the Dorset Coastline with fabulous beaches, the Swannery at Burton Bradstock near Chesil beach all within an easy drive.
Some favourite eating venues: Bruton - The Chapel, Roth Bar and Grill, Hauser and Worth Art Gallery, garden and restaurant It is recommended to book.
My favourite shopping is Stourhead Farm shop, (organic beef and great cheeses) and the Organic Co-operative on the High Street at Bruton run by the locals. Fresh organic farm produce delivered every Tuesday and Friday. Or you can organise a local supermarket to deliver.
One of the best farm shops in the area is half an hour away on the road to Bath 'Whiterow' Farm Shop BA11 6TN

Total tranquillity in beautiful surroundings! Cottage is well equipped and furnished. Very spacious. The games barn would be useful for children if staying longer. We enjoyed our short break here and would recommend it.

Detached cosy cottage in quiet pretty village close to Bath, Bruton, Frome, and within easy reach of Jurassic coast. Comfortable double bed, fully fitted kitchen, sitting room with wood-burner, modern bathroom, patio and plenty of local pubs.

Characterful peaceful detached cottage in pretty Somerset village midway between London and Cornwall with access to great pubs and walks.
Very comfortable queen sized V Spring double bed along with luxury linen and fluffy towels. Thoughtful touches to make your stay memorable.

Quiet character village from which you can experience rural traditional West Country life.

We enjoyed our one night at at Overdale. The bedrooms were excellently presented and a great perk is the use of the little private sitting room with tv. You do need to keep a careful look out for the house which is on a bend in the road and could be missed if you pass it on the rhs. Sat Nav was helpful but not foolproof! We recommend the pub further south down the A357 (only a couple of minutes) which has a magnificent bowling alley and very good food and beer. Called the White Horse.

Hi. I had very nice stay in Susan's home. She was very welcoming. The house and the room were tidy and clean like a hotel with towels. I had not only the bedroom but also little living room for relax and tv. Thank you, Yavor

Yavor2016-04-30T00:00:00Z

Hi I just got back home and must say, even though I know the area quite well, Susan's location is brilliant. She's a great hostess and I would recommend it . Breakfast was super. Had the weather been better I would have gone for walks, as it seemed the perfect location for that. I didn't want for anything

Susan was very friendly and helpful. Her home felt like our home especially in the morning when she prepared a really warm breakfast with fresh eggs from her farm. Village is very cosy and nice to have a walk. We will come back to her house once again!

Gould’s House is a listed historic farmhouse set in a quiet rural area two miles from the village of Horsington, on the Somerset/Dorset border, next door to a working farm. The views of the Blackmore Vale countryside in all directions are stunning, giving us a feeling of being miles from anywhere, yet we are only three miles from the town of Wincanton. Gould's House Annexe is a one bedroom apartment at the back of the house, accessed via our back door.

Gould’s House Annexe is self contained and there is complete privacy, with a double bedroom, bathroom and sitting room upstairs and kitchen downstairs. From the back door, the entrance to both the upstairs and the downstairs is from a passage (for coats and boots) which also serves as the back way into the main house. This entrance and the spacious car parking area are covered by discreet security cameras.
We do not serve any meals, but realising you might arrive late at night, we provide cereal, milk, bread, butter, jam, marmalade, sugar, tea, and coffee for your first breakfast. Morrisons, Lidl and local shops can all be found in Wincanton.
The location is perfect for peace and quiet or for sightseeing. National Trust properties within reach are Stourhead, Lytes Cary, Montacute House and Barrington Court. The beautiful cities of Salisbury, Bath and Wells are all less than an hour’s drive away. The coast with the attractions of the Jurassic coast, Lyme Regis, Lulworth Cove, West Bay and Poole Harbour are all about an hour away. Pevlings Stables is just up the road and the area is ideal for horse riding.
Within easy reach are the historic towns of Glastonbury, Shaftesbury, Sherborne and Bruton with the new Hauser & Wirth modern art gallery, and of course the famous Wincanton Race Course. Local gardens to visit include Sherborne Castle (Capability Brown) and Tintinhull. Other attractions include Longleat, Wookey Hole, and the Haynes Motor Museum.
There are many local pubs which serve good food including the Stapleton Arms in Buckhorn Weston, the Half Moon in Horsington and the White Horse in South Cheriton.
We have a number of our own dogs and cats, and so we cannot welcome your pets here.

The neighbourhood is in the middle of the countryside so the only noise is from the cows on the farm next door

We were blown away with how beautiful this house is, even better in life than in the pictures. The surrounding countryside was also stunning. Amanda and Charlie were also very welcoming and hospitable, they were always on hand over the phone if we needed anything. The experience was my best Airbnb trip yet, honestly couldn't fault it in any way. 10/10, I would definitely come again.

Helen2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

Amazing sums it up - the house and grounds are spectacular, the towels and bedding luxurious. We were reassured by Amanda " just brings yourselves" and indeed this was the case, everything you need is there for you - in abundance. Staying at New Park Farm was an amazing experience and one that we will never forget.

Caryl2017-04-19T00:00:00Z

Our stay started with our fabulous hosts sister greeting us with a cool glass of sparkling wine and warmly welcoming us for our weeklong stay to celebrate my 40th Birthday – there were 14 of us. I couldn’t have hoped for a finer venue – the photos on the website really do not do the house justice – my mum’s comment ‘that she could cry it is so beautiful’ says it all. It is a very large property with a history of interesting extensions and layers of quirkiness. We made use of pretty well all the facilities, excepting the yurt, we just didn’t realise there were so many things to do out and about in mid Somerset. Although Charlie and Amanda were away their housekeeper was available and had unpacked our pre-arranged delivered shopping for us as we ran late. She also provided dog sitting, and a handy man appeared within 12 hrs to fix a fast door handle – really exceptional care. The rooms were found with bristling white new bedding and towels, everything clean and tidy. It is clearly a family home and well loved and used and we settled in and were made so very comfortable. If I had to nit pick it is only from a background of modern conveniences, 5 amp lighting circuits take some getting used to, and traditional baths are standard rather than showers, but this really all adds to the charm. It is also in a clearly rural setting and it was delightful to gaze on cows and ponies, and black swans on the lake. So from the flagstone floors, the Aga, numerous fireplaces and paintings of the ground floor, through the multileveled first floor and numerous bathrooms to the wooden beamed bedrooms and library within the attic it really was a shame to leave. I couldn’t have wished for a warmer welcome, better care and attention and of a beautiful property in such a fine setting. Thank you.

Adrian2016-06-06T00:00:00Z

What an amazing house. Charlie and Amanda were extremely helpful in the lead up to the arrival, and checked in on us throughout the weekend - excellent care. The house is a beauty. It is a charming old farmhouse, that has become tall, wide and rambling with extensions. The last extension is a peach - the red dining room looks like it can seat up to 20, and could be the scene of the red wedding in Game of Thrones. Luckily no one was killed in our trip, but some of our speeches deserved more terminal treatment! The master room is fab with a quirky en suite - never had a gym in my ensuite before. Still haven't used one! All guests slept well and rose ready for breakfast in the massive kitchens. We walked to the pub in Yarlington which was a little harder than expected, but worth it. On Sunday the pub listed as the owner's favourite gave us a great feast - great choice. The yurt was a delight offering a quiet break from the madding crowd. We even had the internal sound system connected for our 1920s style music. Many of our group decided they wanted to move there - praise indeed.

Robbie2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

This house is in a beautiful setting and the place itself is amazing. Perfect for a large family or group of friends to enjoy a country escape. The rooms are all very generous, warm and cozy. The house is very well equipped with everything you would need. We hope to stay again and would recommend this place!

Samuel2016-10-25T00:00:00Z

This is an enchanting house in a beautiful part of Somerset. We found everything very much as it was described. We were impressed by how Amanda and Charlie put themselves out to be helpful and accomodating. We were a large family party, staying at New Park Farm over Christmas. It was an enormously enjoyable experience, as it would be for any similar group who enjoy the countryside ( and perhaps racing at Wincanton).

I cannot imagine a more graceful welcome. Charlie and Amanda are perfect hosts. Their home is ideally suited to large groups but has none of the dormitary feel of some others on offer, far from it; it is truly a family home from home. There is too much to describe in detail but suffice to say that everything feels sensitively thought out and there is a room for every mood, each with its own character. Once over the initial surprise of the scale and beauty of the place, the thoughtfulness behind it becomes apparent. Everything one could need for a large event is there, and labelled. That said, the surroundings are very beautiful too. Walk the grounds, put your toes in one of the lakes and feed the shy black swans. I would very much like to book again for next year. Thank you.

Set down a quiet unmarked lane in Horsington Marsh, Feltham's Cottage has all the benefits of a country cottage (wood burning stove, surrounded by fields, farm next door) with mod cons (40 inch TV, microwave, access to heated swimming pool, gym).

Your own private drive and entrance, down a quiet, unnamed lane, gives you access to Feltham's Cottage. There you can relax outside in your own garden and porch with a BBQ (even a hammock in good weather), or inside with the wood burning stove, board games, and 40 inch digital TV & classic DVDs. There are comfy sofas, throws, original artworks, and a fully equipped kitchen (dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine, & microwave). The main house has wifi but it is slow and so we're not going to get the cottage installed until the connection is better. We also have a child's cot, and high chair.
Secluded Somerset is all very well in the beautiful summer weather, but what about the rest of the years when it's, well, not? We offer you use of our heated indoor swimming pool and gym (with our permission and access - for insurance reasons we can't give you your own keys).
We live next door so we can either let you in, or if you arrive late, the keys are in a key lock by the front door. We welcome everyone who is staying a long weekend or more a basket of milk, fresh coffee and whatever is fresh and abundant at the time. You can have no interaction with us, that's fine, or we can direct you around the area as you wish.
With beautiful rural views of the Blackmore Vale, Horsington is a lovely quiet Somerset village. Our children go to school there, and their school meals are provided by the local pub, the Half Moon. There is Pevlings riding school up Cabbage Lane (1.5 miles away), historic Sherborne 15 minutes away with its 1000 year old Abbey, the new contemporary art gallery Hauser & Wirth in Bruton is 15 minutes drive north, and mythical Glastonbury 30 mins away. There is good walking, fishing and cider picking all within 10 minutes of us. Oh and the fabulous National Trust properties, Montacute House, Lytes Cary, & Stourhead with its beautiful gardens all about 20-35 mins drive away.
Getting around is best by car, though you could conceivably go to Templecombe train station from Waterloo, and walk to us across the fields (30 mins) you would then have to order in food and other provisions (which we can do).
If you book a week in advance we can provide you with breakfast materials, and possibly some meals. We also make our own cheese, Renegade Monk, which is being quietly liked by the Head Chef at La Formagerie in London, and about to be stocked at our local Roth Bar and Grill in Bruton. You can buy this from us direct.

Horsington village is in the Blackmore Vale, which is a wide fertile valley inhabited since pre-Roman times, and where the cottage is in right on Horsington Marsh, to the east of the River Cale (which joins the Stour further south). The bigger village to the south was given to the Templars in 1185 by the lords of the Manor. You can see hills that cup the village to the north, south, east and west,so it’s a very peaceful place with its own micro-climate (great for blackberries) and marshy mists. About 500 people live here, and there is a church, a fine school (our children attend), and two pubs. 4 miles to the north is Wincanton which has two big supermarkets, a petrol station, post office, and two banks. There are lots of pretty Somerset villages nearby, and the main industries are farming - lots.

Penny and Marcus are wonderful friendly hosts, and the cottage is exactly as described. If you are looking for a quiet countryside getaway this is for you. They have a variety of animals, including peacocks and pigs! Various home grown meat and veg are also available to purchase at certain times of the year, and Marcus is producing some fantastic organic cheese which I purchased and is awsome! Will definately be visiting again if we are in the area, and would recommend highly to anyone!

Fab little house in a beautiful location, with friendly helpful owners. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Lovely tranquil setting and a cottage with everything you could possibly need. So wonderful to wake up to the sound of birds, to wonder about the farm and see the pigs and chicks with the kids. We were only able to stay one night but it was fine for our short stopover.

Claire2015-05-25T00:00:00Z

Excellent, quiet, cosy, clean, open and friendly place. Beautiful area. We will definitely come back there.

Agnieszka 2015-06-07T00:00:00Z

Feltham cottage is modern, comfortable, efficiently laid out and clean. The hostess equipped it properly with essentials and amenities. We were courteously received. We had trouble finding the cottage, though the problem was more ours than hers, as when requested she provided reams of directions. We were there just one night but wish it could have been longer.

stuart2015-06-01T00:00:00Z

Penny, Marcus and their children were very welcoming and kindly baked us a delicious apple cake. We were also able to buy fresh salad and cranberry jelly. We used the pool when we wished, which we all enjoyed. All of our kids played together on the farm and had a ball. The wood burning stove made the cottage particularly cosy. It was a very relaxing stay and a great base for us to visit our friend nearby, wookey hole, stourhead and the street outlet shopping centre (this happened accidentally after a failed trip to Glastonbury because of a closed road, or my husband wouldn't have let us)! We will definitely be back again. Thank you all very much!

Clare2016-10-28T00:00:00Z

Beautiful little cottage with everything you could ask for. All amenities were perfect, location was fab to get away from the my seaside location. I actually enjoyed hearing the odd pig at night time! Peacocks and turkeys roaming around....we're all very friendly. Fantastic pub called Stapleton Arms just a 2 mile drive away which have live bands. Other pubs nearby. Enjoyed an Indian takeaway which was a 10 min drive to collect. Lovely family with 3 wonderful, polite and respectful children. My little girl played in the swimming pool with them. Was a lovely break away. Must make it a longer stay next time.

Enjoy a stay in our converted piggery in the stunning village of Cucklington. An ensuite bedroom leads to a large living area where you can cosy up in front of the woodburner or throw open french windows to breathtaking views over the Blackmoor Vale.

The Piggery is part of Homers Farm - the oldest house in the village of Cucklington. Originally a dairy farm, there are reminders everywhere of that previous existence. You will be living in a part of the existing farm which is unique and now converted to make a comfortable stay.

Cucklington sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the borders of Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire making it a perfect base to explore the South West of England. Enjoy rolling country side, breathtaking views, award winning village pubs and walks in unspoilt countryside. Areas of interest include the National Trust's Stourhead Estate (5 miles) picture postcard market town of Shaftesbury (9 miles), the abbey town of Sherborne (14 miles), ancient Stonehenge (27 miles), the cathedral cities of Salisbury (26 miles) and Wells (20 miles) and the city of Bath (30 miles).

We´re very happy w our stay at Carol and Martins farm. The location is very beautiful and scenic. The guest house is very private even though its located right next to the main building. The place is very clean and has everything you need for a weekend in the countryside. Carol and Martin are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back one day. If you are ever in the area of Dorset/Somerset we really recommend you to stay here.

We had such a wonderful long weekend at The Piggery. The cottage is lovely; it had spectacular views over the countryside and is comfortable and well equipped. The lack of kitchen is no problem at all, as the breakfast that Carol provides is delicious and there are lots of lovely pubs etc to eat in nearby. The area itself is also very nice, with footpaths from the cottage, and lots to do further afield. Carol and her husband are both wonderful hosts. They are very friendly and made us feel very welcome, helping with local knowledge, taxi numbers, the wood burner etc. We also loved their friendly dogs! My boyfriend and I loved it here and would definitely come again. Thank you!

Rosaline2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Carol's coverted pigery was gorgeous. We had an amazing stay overlooking Somerset farms in a beautiful homely and clean place. Carol and her husband greeted us upon arrival and showed us how things work, like opening the large patio doors, where the first aid kit was and key lights for the place etc. She also provided an instruction book which explained everything down to how to light the fire place. It also included a description of the area and where to shop and eat within a 15 mile radius. Her warm hospitality was wonderful and we instantly felt comfortable at her place. The beds were very comfortable and the large shower was great. In the morning she brought a lovely breakfast which we enjoy on the peaceful patio. I would highly recommend staying here. We had a terrible stay the few days before at a place that was run down / overpriced / not clean and did not resemble the pictures advertised. So staying at Carol's cozy / clean / gorgeous place and her warmness / hospitality has restored my faith in using Air B&B!

Jennifer2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at the Piggery. Carol and Martin couldn't have been friendlier! The accommodation was gorgeous, very clean and well looked after, too. The views were stunning to wake up to!! And the breakfast was great, I couldn't recommend the Piggery enough for a short break away from it all. Thanks for having us!!

Beth2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

We have just come back from fabulous weekend away at The Piggery. The view from the balcony was exceptional. Carol and Martin were such helpful and friendly hosts. Their hospitality helped make it such a special weekend. Cucklington and the surrounding areas are so beautiful. Would 100% recommend staying at The Piggery. We will be looking to return in the future.

Nicola2016-07-24T00:00:00Z

It was our 20th wedding anniversary, which was made even more special by a stay at the piggery. Carol & Martin were excellent hosts. The piggery was beautiful with amazing views! Would love to go back again.

These beautiful huts are in the garden of the cottage where John Steinbeck lived in 1959. One has a double bed, another a living room space with wood burning stove, the third is a luxurious shower room. Wonderful views and walks. 2 nights minimum.

These beautiful huts are finished to a high standard and fully insulated so you will be comfortable come rain or shine. They sit at the end of our large cottage garden which is on an organic dairy farm. John Steinbeck and his wife stayed in the cottage for several months in 1959, and just before he died, agreed that it was where they had felt happiest. We hope that you can experience the same pleasure from visiting this truly magical place.

You won't want to leave the huts or the garden, but Bruton is a happening little town with several shops and restaurants worth visiting, as well as the newly opened Hauser & Wirth art gallery.
We are close to several National Trust houses including Stourhead, and Lytes Cary.
Longleat is nearby. Also easy to get to are Bath, Wells, Glastonbury, Frome, Sherborne and the Dorset coast is just over an hour away.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay with Caroline and Luke! The huts are beautiful, the bed comfy, the shower delightful, the setting gorgeous, and the food delicious. Caroline and Luke did everything they could to make our stay just right, with lots of thoughtful little touches to really make it very special. Not a single criticism. Thank you and we will be back!

Vicky2014-08-11T00:00:00Z

We had a tremendous weekend staying in the Shepherd's huts. They are beautifully built and designed in an idyllic rural setting, with superb walks across rolling Somerset pasture. The breakfast was just right and Caroline and Luke were excellent hosts. We can't recommend this highly enough and we are already looking forward to going back again.

jon2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

We have just spent a fantastic long weekend at the Shepherds Huts in Bruton. This is a little piece of heaven in the Somerset countryside. Run beautifully by two angels (otherwise known as Caroline and Luke..thank you) Nothing is too much trouble and I cannot imagine a more perfect setting. Breakfast magically appeared including warm homemade bread, set out on a tablecloth in the sun. We also had a memorable supper by the fire pit, in the warm silence, under the stars, looking out for bats and glow worms. While writing this I am longing to return, it was fantastic.

sam2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

A truly wonderful place and we were so well looked after. The place is idyllic, the huts are very comfortable, warm with attention to detail with everything you need. Having 3 huts is great as you can relax and unwind with the warm fire during the day! The hosts could not do enough for us and the breakfast was delicious, so fresh with homemade bread and other touches. Can't wait to visit again.

Jessica2015-10-25T00:00:00Z

Caroline and Luke's beautiful Bruton Shepherds' Huts are an absolute gem in the Somerset countryside. My partner and I couldn't have been more delighted with our stay: the hosts are friendly, hospitable and very welcoming. Each hut is beautifully designed and decorated, incredibly cosy, and offers a really unique experience for any overnight stay. The photos on airbnb actually don't do the huts justice, as they are rustic yet modern, and feel like a very special place on earth for a night under the stars in the English countryside. What's more, the stay includes a delicious homecooked breakfast (what yummy homemade bread!) and it was lovely to find fresh tea and milk on arrival, as well as waiting for us in the living room hut after coming back from dinner nearby. The area is very rural and feels remote, close to the new Hauser & Wirth gallery which makes for a great day trip. Caroline was fantastic at giving us local pub and restaurant recommendations for dinner, and she was very amenable and responsive online and on the phone before we arrived, giving us good directions to the huts, asking about any food requirements and helping us stay for one night instead of the customary two. I couldn't recommend this beautiful 'shed and breakfast' enough, and I hope we can stay again soon for a longer trip!

Hannah2014-10-19T00:00:00Z

Caroline is a charming and welcoming host. The shepherds huts are cosy, clean, furnished to a high standard with everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. Awoke to a lit woodburner in the "living room hut" and breakfast laid out with a hot cooked locally sourced breakfast to follow. Pheasants, cows and birdsong provide the music. Will definitely return. Thank you

Comfortable house with full facilities, situated in an ideal location for easy access to visit many of the major attractions in the South West.
Easy parking, private garden with views across the beautiful Hadspen Estate.

The rental property is a self-contained house with a private garden area, situated next door to our home.
There is a large double bedroom with a balcony overlooking the parklands of the Hapsden Estate which surrounds us, and from here you may see deer, foxes and the resident hawk. The bedroom has an ensuite toilet and sink, with a new bathroom with shower on the ground floor.
We may be able to offer temporary beds if more than two people are staying; there would be an additional charge for this.
The kitchen has dishwasher, hob, oven, fridge, freezer and washing machine.
The living room has TV with Sky Sports.
The natural fresh water for the rental property and our own is drawn from the grounds of the Hadspen Estate.

Hadspen House was built in 1689, and its gardens and landscape are the work of generations of serious gardeners.
Much remains of ambitious 17th, 18th and 19th century planting schemes, particularly in the parkland and woodland of the estate.

We found our 'home from home' and it was a lovely stay. Breakfast on the balcony in the rising sun, a day out, and return with tea on the garden swing in the setting sun. Perfect. Clean, modern, comfortable. Wonderful welcome basket. As we arrived 7pm, we could relax in front of the TV after meal, wine, cup tea and chill, without shopping. Upstairs and downstairs loos great. Lovely sunny sitting/dining room. Kitchen with all we needed. Fridge stocked milk, butter. Bedroom spacious, airy. Bed comfortable. Parking good. Towels and linen really nice. Great to meet Jeanne and Jez. Many NT properties within visit distance, and Dorset coast an hour away. A lovely self-contained annexe home stay.

Had a wonderful stay at Dovecote House. Jeanne was a lovely host. It was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The welcome hamper was a delightful bonus.

Kim2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

A very warm welcome from our hosts , we were provided by a very extensive welcome basket of goodies to enjoy. The cottage is very spacious and has everything you would need for a short or long stay including a balcony area off the upstairs bedroom, on which we enjoyed breakfast overlooking surrounding countryside . A private outside garden with a swing seat is a bonus after a day out touring the lovely area .we would have no hesitation in recommending dovecote cottage .

Ian2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely cottage in a very nice location. There are some excellent places to eat nearby, and many attractions within a reasonable drive. The kitchen has a dishwasher and washing machine, both of which were much appreciated, and there is Sky TV and internet. The bedroom in the eaves is a great room. What would have improved our stay was to have had more equipment in the kitchen - we found that we were looking for things like a tin opener, oven glove, chopping boards and cheese grater when preparing meals. The welcome basket is very generous, and set us up for the first evening and breakfast. A lovely touch. Dovecote House is definitely recommended for a relaxing stay in a lovely part of the world,

Maria2017-05-11T00:00:00Z

Jeanne was a lovely host, providing us with a nice welcome pack with the essentials which was the perfect addition and a booklet with local things for us to do. Thank you, would definitely reccomend and come back again.

Danika2016-03-27T00:00:00Z

Jeanne was great and friendly. The seperate apartment was quirky, spacious and well maintained. A lovely place to stay.

Gorran2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Fantastic welcome pack which included essentials and many local products which were delicious. Personally showed us round the property. Made it clear that we were welcome to use the garden and orchard. Very helpful with local knowledge.

Heather2016-09-18T00:00:00Z

What an absolutely lovely place to stay. The description is spot on and Jeanne is the perfect host, the welcome basket of eggs, fresh bread, cheese and wine was heavenly after our journey up from London. The bed was so comfortable, we slept better there than our own bed! The shower is powerful and huge! Eating breakfast on the balcony was a highlight, looking out over the fields and breathing in the beautiful fresh air. Jeanne was really quick getting back to my many emails asking about hire car companies, towels and hairdryers! A wonderful weekend away, I can not fault it – many thanks!
